2 hands that caused some funny looks at the table
posting 2 hands. dont have time to make 2 posts.
these 2 hands i thought were pretty basic. until i saw the faces on the others when they saw what i had. mild table discussion ensued on both.
passive table, tight raising standards for most
i limp QJ in MP...4 or 5 to the flop.
flop 9 8 3 rain
BB bets out, i raise, all fold to BB.
turn 8
both check
river T
check, i bet, he looks miffed and calls.
pretty basic to me, given the table texture. if they would be more likely to call, i may have played the flop differently
hand 2
the table is just now briefly shorthanded (5 or 6) [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] , a few different players, lots of callers. ive played maybe 2 hands in 1.5 hours. but no problems getting action.
i get 77 UTG and raise. all but 1 call 5 to the flop
flop 9 6 5 rain
i bet, everyone calls
turn 3
i bet everyone calls, maybe lose 1
i say pair the board to the dealer. interesting look from the gal next to me at this point.
river 3
(thank god!) i bet, 2 callers, im good.
another gal, only one that folded preflop, mentions she wouldve won. 'you only had 7s !?!' along with a couple others mumbling and commenting on my holding.
nothing real special, i thought, but was suprised at how the table reacted at showdown. hmmm. it was a nice table.
2 rare winners in a 9 hour losing session. brutality level was high in this session. real high.
god, poker is fun. hahaha
